Japan Will go Bold Early 2009

The Blackberry Bold will be dropping into Japan’s pockets in early 2009 according to Reuters.  The carrier that will releasing it is Japans biggest carrier NTT DoCoMo.  Donald Morrison, RIM’s chief operating officer, said:

the company sees a big opportunity in the “absolutely huge” Japanese market and necessary technologies to support RIM’s products are already in place.

This is a very true statement for Japan because they are always on the up and up for gadgetry.  I am actually surprised that they do not have the Bold or some other one off RIM device.  So, I guess we weren’t the last country to get the Bold, even techy-er Japan doesn’t have it.

I think that the simplicity of the Bold’s design paired with the elegance will entice Japanese customers.  It should do big things come release time.
